Godskin Noble
In the Elder Scrolls Online, you’ve probably wondered how to beat Godskin Apostle. You’re not alone. You probably want to learn the best way to deal with this God. While his attacks are mostly a combination of thrusts and swipes, he can combine them into a devastating combo. However, you can’t trust him to land a blow when the combo has ended, as he can sidestep after attacking. Fortunately, this attack does not take much damage to your shield.
One of the best ways to fight Godskin Apostle is to dodge his attacks. While he can be difficult to avoid, he will often use his scythe to pull a spinning attack. This attack deals medium damage and will repeatedly hit you. Avoid this attack by sprinting backwards or attacking the opposite direction. You can also dodge the last attack, but be prepared to take the damage.
If you’re unsure how to deal with Godskin Apostle, remember that you can exploit an exploit that allows you to bypass his attack animation and win the battle. Once you’ve reached half health, the Godskin Apostle will release a black energy field around itself. When this happens, your frame rate will drop significantly. After a short time, you’ll be able to slash through his midriff and escape the boss.
Once you’ve learned how to deal with Godskin Apostle, you can move on to Godskin Noble. He has two different phases, which you can learn from by following this guide. The first phase introduces the most attacks. The second phase introduces new ones. The key is knowing when to recover, as Godskin Noble punishes your heals with a fast-traveling fireball.
You can avoid Godskin Noble’s attack by using geometry or pillars. This attack increases your AoE and has twice the duration of the double slam. If you can block Godskin Noble, you will have the upper hand and advantage. If you don’t use geometry, you can still dodge his attack. The attack will cause an explosion if you’re not careful.
Godskin Apostle
To beat Godskin Apostle, you must use your scythe. This monster has two phases, one in which you can easily avoid attacks and the other in which he will pull out a spinning attack that will cause you to suffer damage. Avoid his Black Flame attack because it will deal damage over time, and use the pillars to shield yourself from his ranged attacks. Then, use your parrying skill to get past his final attack, which is a devastating scythe.
The Godskin Apostle will cast his ranged attack by preparing a black orb of energy and hurling it towards his enemies. The Godskin Apostle will also repeatedly strike you with this attack, so avoid it by sprinting the opposite direction. Once it hits you, it will crash down, and you can safely dodge it by sprinting backward. You can also use Sleep Arrows to break the attack.
The Apostle’s weapon is covered in black flame, and it causes a whirlwind of black flame. The Godskin Apostle also swings his upper body, creating a circle with his arms. The black flame stays for a while before dissipating. During this time, it’s recommended to move away from the area as Godskin Apostle’s sword will easily strike you.
To defeat Godskin Apostle, use your twinblade. While this weapon isn’t as effective as Godskin Apostle’s, it is better to use a shield if you have the right set of armor. It’s also good to equip a great sword, such as Godslayer’s Greatsword. If you’re using a Strength/Faith build, this is the best boss to beat before moving on to the Duo.
You can also focus on the Godskin Noble, as this monster can take a lot of damage from Sleep. It’s also easier to deal with Godskin Apostle than Noble, so use this advantage wisely. Just remember that the Godskin Noble will always reappear if it’s not killed, and the Godskin Apostle will always be there if you’re not careful.
